5.10b | ★★ The Decameron - with Elliott Pryor | 27m, 9 | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
2nd Try. This thing is all time! Probably the most fun I've ever had climbing in the sun. The position is out of this world, as soon as you hit the arete you are above the tree line and climb about 35 ft on the arete with the most amazing view and the route tops out, how does it get any better! The only negative to this climb is the lack of bolts in the first section of climbing, not the most approachable for the 5.10 leader because of this. An incredible close to an amazing day of easy climbing, if every 5.10 was like this I would never feel the need to climb anything harder.

5.12a | ★★ Preparation H - with Caleb Mattson, Sam, Chris | 20m | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
2nd Try. Really sick route, with incredible sequences throughout. Hard moves off the ground were unenjoyable on the flash try, but felt sick on the go. Climbing to the 5th quickdraw is just some could old-fashioned arete liebacking movement with a sick toe perch to gain a crimp, and the boulder after pulling around the corner is divine with sequential footwork and an incredible float move out right. Felt a really good flow on this one and was psyched to do it soft 2nd.

|
|||||||
5.12a | ★ Hell Bound For Glory | 26m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Would be mega classic if not for the ugly roof traverse moves at the start. These were truely terrifying first go round with the potential to still pendulum hit the deck even with the high first bolt stick clipped. 2nd time round I got the hang off it jamming your head and back into the roof and squatting into your chest, even got a no hands 'rest'. 2 or 3 tricky and hard to read moves onroute and real kicker at the last bolt. 3 shots to get it and a 4th tr just cos it was too awesome not to.

|
|||||||
5.11c | ★★ I Smell A-rete | 23m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
2 shots, I am not super experienced with climbing aretes but this felt really hard, a least a grade harder perhaps two, as per usual the crux is right at the end and it is super committing (though a clean fall) to get the last draw on, you want to climb way past before you can get it on.
|
|||||||
5.11b | New Clear Potato Meltdown | ★★ Very Good | |||||
The guide suggests this is good warmup to the area but I would suggest warming up somewhere else and then doing this, its quite pumpy. The top is a bit slopey and mantley, I would suggest not doing it if you thought the top might be even a little damp. Good, fun climbing though.
